\"\"<\/p>\n

Mahesh Vikram Hegde<\/a>, the founder of fake news website Postcard News also tweeted the same video.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Several social media users<\/a> have shared this video with the identical narrative. Another post by one Anil Sharma<\/a> claims that Pakistan’s national flag can be seen on the dais where Gehlot is present. It is based on a screengrab of Ashok Gehlot with a highlighted green flag in the background. This Facebook post has been shared close to 2900 times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

What is the truth?
\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you look closely, both the claims are based on the flag which is NOT the Pakistani national flag. In the images, the green flag with a crescent moon is a generic flag. It is used as a religious symbol by the Muslim community in the subcontinent. In the comparison given below, Pakistan’s national flag with a white patch on the left side can be seen. \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

The pictures depicted in the above Facebook posts are representative of this religious banner and NOT Pakistan’s national flag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Similar claim <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Drramgopal Varshney<\/a>, a Facebook user also posted a claim that the Pakistani flag was waved at a Congress rally. It has been shared more than 1400 times.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

In the past as well, this green coloured flag has been falsely represented as Pakistan’s national flag on social media to further a political agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
